Bibliography

IWI offers here a bibliography of publications in English on canals and waterways. We are indebted to the late Albright ‘Zip’ Zimmermann of the Canal Society of Pennsylvania and to Mark Baldwin, specialist bookseller in the UK and author of valuable, detailed bibliographies published in the 1980s, for their contributions, indicated in the last column. The Area (last but one column) refers to the geographical scope of the book, not the publisher, hence Int for international applicable to some titles. This listing offers the possibility of sorting on any column to help find the title you are interested in. Alternatively, use the query function to type a key name or word, which will then show all the corresponding titles. IWI in the last column indicates that the title may be purchased through our on-line shop.Bibliography editor: Janet Gascoigne
